Fritillaria affinis Chocolate Lily

Description

Pots available Spring 2025. Waitlist below.

Perennial native lily from bulb. The flowers are in a bell shape and the petals are variable, from brownish-purple mottled with greenish-yellow, to yellowish-green mottled with purple. The lilies prefer dry to mesic meadows and woodlands, so try planting in full sun to partial shade and keep the soils relatively dry.

Growing From Seed

Growing your own native plants from seed is the most economical way to add natives to your project or home garden. The seeds of native plants have built-in dormancy mechanisms that protect them from germinating before killing frosts or periods of drought.

In cultivation, the successful gardener must become familiar with these conditions to unlock the dormancy mechanism and stimulate germination. We are developing thorough seed germination categories in the Seed Details section above to help you successfully grow the native seed we sell.
